The actual founder of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yi, was a scheming figure.
At the beginning, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi fought for power, and Sima Yi deliberately claimed illness and did not participate in the government in order to avoid retreating, but Cao Shuang still had deep doubts.
Cao Shuang's confidant Yin Li Sheng of Henan was transferred to Jingzhou, and Li Sheng, in the name of farewell, went to Sima Yi's mansion to spy on The False Reality.
Sima Yi pretended to be very ill, and when he came out, he was supported by two maids, one moment his clothes fell off, and the other he called thirst. The maid held the thin porridge, and Sima Yi held a cup of wine, making his face full of it, and deliberately talking nonsense.
Li Sheng relaxed his mind and felt that Sima Yi was indeed finished. Li Sheng returned to the palace and reported to Cao Shuang: "Sima Gong's corpse resides in the remaining qi, and the form and spirit are gone, and there is not enough to worry about. ”
Since then, Cao Shuang has no longer been on guard.
Corpse residence residual qi is to lie like a corpse, with only a little breath, which means to be close to death, and later the corpse residence residual qi is also used to describe people's mediocrity and twilight.
Of course, Sima Yi's corpse remnants were fake, he successfully paralyzed Cao Shuang, and later seized the opportunity in the "Gaopingling Incident" to overthrow this biggest political enemy in one fell swoop and seize the power of the State of Wei.
